THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE IS
OBSERVED ON 21 SEPTEMBER OF EVERY YEAR
HOW WILL YOU OBSERVE THIS DAY?
Will you help me recruit a million people for the cause of peace? This will take just three minutes of your time:
- First Minute: sign THIS PLEDGE (which will be delivered to the United Nations)
- Second Minute: Pause for one minute at NOON ON EVERY SEPTEMBER 21 to pray for peace. Pray for whatever you choose, in any way you choose.
- Third Minute: Pass this link along to ten friends.
What Is the International Day of Peace?
Here is a message from Ban Ki Moon, Secretary General of the United Nations.
Remember the horrible events of history that led to the formation of the United Nations.
Most victims of war are powerless. Please lend your voice to those who have none.
The Greatest Generation made a pledge, "Never Again". Let's help keep their pledge a reality.
Pray for a world where people can take seriously that the acronym WMD should stand for "We Must Disarm".
Dare to dream, dare to believe.
